Leviticus 6
Besides offering a trespass offering, if people gained something unethically (by lying, taking by force, or similar action) they were to restore the gain plus twenty percent. Compare that to our justice system where the larger their gain the more likely it is that they will only be required to restore twenty percent of what they gained.
The fire on the altar of sacrifice is to be always burning even when their is no sacrifice to be burned. This would symbolize that the Lord is ever ready to accept our righteous sacrifices and our offerings of repentance. The priests and sometimes the men of the people were to eat of the remainder of meat and burnt offerings but nine were to eat of sin offerings.
